I Love my Wii

I am so inlove with my Wii. For those of you who don't have one or never thought you would be interested in playing the Wii .....once you play it your hooked. I am hooked on Michael Jackson "The Experience" game and Just Dance 2. These two games  are fun and a great cardio workout. I play them daily with my kids. At first I could do only 3 songs and I would be winded, but now I am up to 8 to 10 songs each time we play daily. And I beat my kids everytime...lol. Now they don't like to play with me as much...go figure..lol.You sweat like crazy. You are working your arms and legs. These games definately get the heart to pumping. So if you enjoy dancing and having fun the Wii is for you. Also Just Dance 2 has a Just Sweat catagory where you can track your calories burned based on the number of songs you perform. It is absolutely awesome!

I am also a huge fam of the WII. I hav e not had surgery yet and my knees and legs are not the best so the WII is perfect. We are always doing the Just Dance 2. I am able to do 2 songs or so standing up and movinbg around. Once the legs start hurting I just sit down but still do the upper body and it still is a work out. I am glad you have found an exercise that you enjoy and can do with your family. I am going to have to try the Micheal Jackson game. Thanks for the suggestion,

@ thisis4me~ you are so welcome. I walk and work out atleast 4 x's a week and play the Wii daily. You will love the Michael Jackson game. When you get it and play it let me know wheter  or not you agree with me. Have fun!

i love just dance 2! when i was recently post-op, i would play that once i was cleared for exercise and it's so much fun. one of my favorites to do is D.A.N.C.E. and i downloaded kung fu fighting which is definitely another favorite of mine

I know...isn't it GREAT?! It is a total work out all by itself. My fav is "Proud Mary" "So what song are we doing next?" I say  Proud Mary or Tik Tok...lol. Their facial expressions are priceless...lol. Their like no momma NOOOOO  lets do something else. You must share with me how to download songs. Thanks for sharing.

well if you have wireless internet in your house, you can connect the wii to it! then you can go to the wii store right on the system and purchase points and then the game itself will let you download songs! firework by katy perry is free with the game and i love doing that one. i also downloaded mambo no. 5 by lou bega which is hard!

I absollutely love my Wii too.  I play both of those games with my kids and by the time we're done we are all drenched in sweat.  I figured it was a great way for us to spend time together and exercise at the same time.  I'm going to have to start tracking my calories burned with the Just Sweat feature too.  Can't wait to see how many calories I burn also!  My friend has also suggested the Wii yoga for stretching and toning, she said that you can really feel it working.

Yes, do start using the Just Sweat feature...it is awesome. If you do 3 songs you will burn a 1000 calories and you can set weekly goals for yourself. I am going to have to buy the Wii Yoga and check it out. I definately need that. Thanks so much for sharing ma'am

My new fasination is with the ea active 2... major hard work out, on the lightest settings. I did it for 30 minutes, and i burned 101 calories... more than I took in that day (Having a hard time eating/drinking)

Wow, now that sounds challenging. I am always up for a good challenge. My kiddos keep me motivated. I will definately have to check that out. Thanks for sharing
